About Me

When my youngest son was born, he was diagnosed with a seizure disorder. I had never seen seizures before, let alone in someone so tiny. I spent hours every day reading and researching the triggers and management techniques for seizures in the hopes of helping him to manage his symptoms. I was surprised at how little real-life information was out there. That's when I knew that I had to create this site. My goal with this blog is to help others understand what it's like to manage seizures in an infant and how it changes as they get older. I hope it helps you if you're facing the same struggles with your child or a loved one.
